Bug 183431 – portage not resilient to profile parent funkiness

• Product: Portage Development
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description SpanKY 2007-06-27 16:41:11 UTC]

any operation fails if "parent" contains a broken entry ... imagine someone making a typo, committing it, and then users no longer able to rsync ;(

root@vapier 0 ~ # echo ../moo/moo/mr/cow >> /etc/make.profile/parent
root@vapier 0 ~ # emerge
